In "libxl: Do not trust backend for disk eject vdev" (c69871a2fb on
xen.git#staging) we changed libxl_evenable_disk_eject to read the
device vdev out of xenstore from the /libxl path, rather than the
backend path, and to read it during setup rather than on each event.
However, the patch has a mistake:
- GCSPRINTF("%s/dev", backend), NULL);
+ GCSPRINTF("%s/vdev", libxl_path), &configured_vdev);
^
Spot the extra "v". This causes configured_vdev always to be NULL.
configured_vdev is passed to [libxl__]strdup.
In Xen 4.6 and later libxl__strdup is used and tolerates NULL.
evg->vdev is set to NULL. This propagates to the `vdev' field in the
generated event. This may or may not cause further trouble, depending
on the calling application. In our osstest test cases it does not
cause any trouble, so the bug goes undetected.
In Xen 4.5 and earlier, the strdup does not tolerate NULL, and libxl
crashes immediately. This has been detected by osstest as a
regression in Xen 4.5.
IMO this patch should be applied immediately to
xen.git#staging-4.5 (to check that it fixes the osstest regression)
xen.git#staging (to check that it does not break master
Subject to passes, it should then be propagated to all supported
stable trees and also be mentioned in an update to XSA-178.

This is more in line with the other parts of libxl, which ought not to

The macro name change generates a lot of clutter in the diff. So we

the implementation does not really match the new name.
So, another way to look at this, is that we have transformed the bug:

Rework libxl__device_disk_from_xs_be (which takes a backend path) into

libxl__device_disk_from_xenstore now finds the backend path itself,
although it doesn't use it any more for most of its functions. We
rename the variable from be_path to backend_path to make sure we
didn't miss any cases.
All the data collection is now done by reading from the copy in
/libxl.
libxl_device_disk_list and its helper libxl__append_disk_list (which
used to be libxl__append_disk_list_of_type) need extensive rework,
because they now need to specify the /libxl path rather than the
backend path.
To do that they enumerate disks by looking in the appropriate area in
/libxl. Previously they scanned various of the backend directories in
dom0 (which was broken for driver domains). It is no longer necessary
to enumerate the various disk backends, because they all use the same
paths in /devices. libxl__device_disk_from_xenstore will parse the
type out of the backend path, for itself. (Indeed, it did so before -
the now-gone type parameter to libxl__append_disk_list_of_type wasn't
used other than to construct the directory to list.)
Finally, remove a redundant store to pdisk->backend_domid in
libxl__append_disk_list[_of_type]. Even before this commit, that
store was not needed because libxl_device_disk_init (called by
libxl__device_disk_from_xenstore) would zero it. Now it overwrites
the correct backend domid with zero; so remove it.

We want to stop libxl trustingly reading information from the backend
directory (since this is, of course, writeable by the backend, which
might be a semi-trusted driver domain).
In principle it is wrong in current libxl for anything to try to
divine virtual device configuration from xenstore: the JSON domain
config ought to supply that, and xenstore should only tell us which
devices actually exist.
However:
Firstly, there are several existing places where configuration
information is retrieved from xenstore rather than JSON. We do not
want to reen gineer this in a security patch.
Secondly, we want to make a security patch which can be backported to
versions of libxl without the JSON configuration machinery.
So we take the expedient approach of keeping a copy of the
configuration somewhere we trust, namely /libxl. This is obviously
fairly low-risk, although it does write significantly more keys in
xenstore.
In this patch we make this change in libxl__device_generic_add. This
is responsible for actually writing the vast majority of device
information to xenstore. There are a few loose ends which will be
dealt with in a moment.
Likewise, changes to readers to use the new location will appear in
further patches.

v3: Whitespace adjustment to parameter list indentation

* Use /libxl to find the backend path.
* Parse the backend path to find the backend domid, rather than

* Tolerate FRONTEND/tty vanishing.
Note that there is a strange off-by-one error in the computation of
both fe_path and libxl_path in libxl_device_channel_getinfo: the
incoming channel->devid, which is copied to channelinfo->devid, has +1
applied to calculate the frontend path (and, after this patch, the
libxl path). I.e., the devid passed to libxl_device_channel_getinfo
must be one less than the actual devid for the device being asked
about.
This is actually a bug which mirrors a bug in
libxl__append_channel_list, which fills in the devids of the channel
devices it finds with sequentially increasing numbers starting at 0.
In the usual case channels have real devids starting at 1 (because
there is the console, which is devid 0, but not a channel). So these
bugs usually cancel out.

This gives us a record of all the backends we have set up for a
domain, which is separate from the frontends in
/local/domain/$DOMID/device.
In particular:
1. A guest has write permission for the frontend path:
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID
which means that the guest can completely delete the frontend.
(They can't recreate it because they don't have write permission
on the containing directory.)
2. A guest has write permission for the backend path recorded in the
frontend, ie, it can write to
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID/backend
which means that the guest can break the association between
frontend and backend.
So we can't rely on iterating over the frontends to find all the
backends, or examining a frontend to discover how a device is
configured.
So, have libxl__device_generic_add record the frontend and backend
paths in /libxl/$DOMID/device, and have libxl__device_destroy remove

Commit 56fb5fd623 ("libxl: adjust PoD target by memory fudge, too")
introduced target_memkb adjustment for HVM PoD domains on create,
wherein the value it wrote to target is always 1MiB lower than the
actual target_memkb. Unfortunately, on reboot, it is this value which
is read *unmodified* to feed into the next domain creation; from which
1MiB is subtracted *again*. This means that any guest which reboots
with memory < maxmem will have its memory target decreased by 1MiB on
every boot.
This patch makes it so that when reading target on reboot, we adjust the
value we read *up* by 1MiB, so that the domain will be build with the
appropriate amount of memory and the target will remain the same after
reboot.
This is still not quite a complete fix, as the 1MiB offset is only
subtracted when creating or rebooting; it is not subtracted when 'xl
set-memory' is called. But it will prevent any situations where memory
is continually increased or decreased. A better fix will have to wait
until after the release.

This patch removes MC_MSRINK_F_GPADDR flag and checks this when injecting
to reserved domain IDs except DOMID_SELF, and treats the passed-in
address as host machine address.

XSA-180 provides a patch to QEMU to bodge QEMU logging issue. We
explicitly set the limit in libxl for 4.7.
Introduce a function for setting the environment variable and call it in
the right places.

Running QEMU as non-root user is not ready yet, so replace the warning
with a debug message and remove the option from the man page.
Also improve the doc to include more potential issue with running QEMU
as non-root.

We don't support plugging in emulated nic to a HVM guest.
The "update_json" flag is only set when doing hotplug, so use that as an
indicator in libxl__device_nic_add. The new hotplug flag to _setdefault
function should be false in all other locations.
This then requires saving nic type in JSON file, because we don't want
the receiving end to recalculate the nic type.

In commit 31268fea (libxl: fix passing the type argument to xc_psr_*),
casting to xc psr type was done at each call site.
This patch consolidates casting into a function to avoid casting at each
conversion point. Each call site remains more type safe.

qemu commit 91a097e7 forbids specifying cache mode for empty
drives. Attempting to create a domain with an empty qdisk cdrom
drive results in
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=ide,index=1,readonly=on,media=cdrom,
cache=writeback,id=ide-832: Must specify either driver or file
libxl only allows an empty 'target=' for cdroms. By default, cdroms
are readonly (see the 'access' parameter in xl-disk-configuration.txt)
and forced to readonly by any tools (e.g. xl) using libxlutil's
xlu_disk_parse() function. With cdroms always marked readonly,
explicitly specifying the cache mode for cdrom drives can be dropped.
The drive's 'readonly=on' option can also be set unconditionally.
